Built Up Roof (BUR) is a generic term for a roof system that is literally built by adding layers. This is by far the oldest of the "modern methods" of roofing dating back to the early 1800's. Formerly, the BUR membrane was the waterproofing agent and the bitumen was the adhesive. With the advent of synthetic fibers, the rolls of the two principle elements have been reversed. Now, the bitumen is the waterprrofing agent and the...

EPDM is a product consisting of three distinct monomers. EPDM is classified as a Thermoset material which means it is either fully-cured prior to being installed or that it cures during natural weathering after installation. EPDM roofs are single-ply membranes meaning there is only one ply of roofing material. EPDM membranes are installed fully-adhered, mechanically-attached or ballasted. Fully-adhered means that the roof is "glued"...

TPO advantages include bitumen and polystyrene compatibility, very good low temperature flexibility, excellent puncture resistance, and increased welding rates. TPO is the fastest growing product type in the roofing industry. TPO membranes are installed fully-adhered, mechanically-attached, or ballasted. Fully-adhered means that the roof is "glued" to the substrate using a special adhesive. Ballasted means the membrane is loose laid...

MB's are a roof system developed by taking the qualities of a BUR system along with the qualities of a single-ply roof. A standard MB roof system should have a base sheet or ply, similar to the BUR system, then a waterproofing sheet similar to single-ply. To break it down, a modified bitumen membrane is composed primarily of polymer-modified bitumen reinforced with one or more plies of fabric such as polyester, fiberglass, or a...

Although it is not a roofing system in itself, the Tapered Roofing Feature is a valuable addition that can be built into any roofing system. It is a valuable addition as it both drains water from the roof and insulates the roof while extending the life span of all roof types. It's created by laying down a series of tapered sheets of insulation that direct the water to roof drains, scuppers, and gutters. While adding minimal cost to the...
